1891-] Document No. 20.
To the Hon. D. G. Fowle, Governor; Hon. W. L. Saun-ders,
Secretary of State, and Hon. S. M. Finger,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, Trustees of the
North Carolina State Library.
GENTLEMEN :—I have the honor to submit to you my
report for the years i88c)-'90, showing the additions to
the Library during that period by purchases, donation
and exchange.
Since my last report, efforts have been made to secure
a collection of portraits of the soldiers who served the
State so gallantly and heroically during the late war.
The Reading Room speaks for itself of the success which
has attended my undertaking, by the large number of oil
and crayon portraits that can be found upon its walls.
A collection has been made that the State may be justly
proud of. The work on this line has not ceased; besides
those received, quite a number of others are promised
and are in preparation. Those already in the rooms are
of the following persons:
Major General Bryan Grimes (crayon).
Major General William D. Pender (crayon).
Brigadier General A. M. Scales (wood engraving).
Brigadier General John R. Cooke (crayon).
Brigadier General Johnson Pettigrew (photograph).
Brigadier General Junius Daniel (crayon).
Brigadier General James B. Gordon (photograph).
Brigadier General William McRae (crayon).
Brigadier General Rufus Barringer (oil).
Col. E. D. Hall (crayon).
Col. W. L. Saunders (crayon).
Col. Wharton Green (crayon).
Col. John A. Gilmer (crayon).
